wxPython on Android/iOS

[Paul Scott]

Has anyone implemented an iOS or Android wxPython app? I know that
native apps would probably be a better bet, but was just wondering if
this was even possible. I have a project to do, and would rather keep it
as simple as possible regarding maintenance of multiple client apps on
multiple platforms (must support MS Win, Linux, Mac & mobile)

Not that I know of.

There is a GSoC project going on now that is getting a wx-mobile port
started, with an emphasis on iOS to begin with, and perhaps Android
later on. So it may be possible some day.

Take a look at pyAppcelerator.
It doesn't use wx, but claims to support Win, Mac, ioS, and Linux (I think)

I'm curious how would that work--I was under the impression that for
iOS (iPhone), the code had to be written in Objective-C or C++, not
Python. Or is this GSoC just for wxWidgets?

It's just wxWidgets C++ for now. There is some precedent for Python on
iOS however, IIRC the rules forbid apps that download code and execute
it. If static .pyc (or .zip or whatever) files are included in the app
then I think that it is acceptable.

Thanks! Will certainly have a look.
